Body harnesses, to securely support workers at heights

Critical for worker comfort, safety and efficiency at heights is adjustability for the supplied fall protection gear. Our complete range includes adjustable body harnesses to maximise comfort and adjustable retractable lanyards and fall-arrest systems to limit the free-fall distance of a worker. Choice of the right equipment is enhanced by our supply of specialist height safety kits, for example construction and roofing worker kits.

The Importance of Compliance with Height Safety Regulations

An essential part of risk management for working at heights is the use of height safety and fall protection equipment that is fully compliant with relevant industry standards and regulations. AS/NZS 1891 provides standards for body harnesses and fall-arrest systems. Key International standards include EN361 for full body harnesses; OSHA fall protection standards; and ANSI Z359 fall protection code. URSafeRite’s height safety and fall protection equipment meets or exceeds all industry recognised certifications and safety standards.

There are significant consequences for workplaces that are non-compliant with the mandatory legislation for height safety work. Non-compliance risks worker safety and may lead to substantial fines and punishment by workplace authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of fall protection gear do I need for working at height?

Safe work authorities require a risk assessment process to determine the fall hazards and appropriate fall protection required for the job. Working at height safety programs often require several different types of height safety equipment to be used to manage identified risks, for example a combination of a body harness, fall arrester, ropes and anchor points.

How do I properly maintain and inspect my fall protection equipment?

Keep fall protection gear stored properly in a kit bag to keep it clean, dry, and away from direct sunlight. Clean when necessary using only mild soap solution and dry fully before storage. Regularly inspect for any wear or damage and replace if any component appears compromised.

What is the difference between a lanyard and a fall arrest system?

A lanyard provides a connection from a worker’s body harness to an anchor point. A fall arrest system provides the safe stopping of a person already falling, designed to prevent the person from hitting the ground or an adjacent hazard.

How do I know if my fall protection equipment fits correctly?

A body harness must be correctly selected according to the size of the worker and then adjusted by following the manufacturer fitting instructions to ensure correct positioning of all straps and D-rings. The harness should fit snugly while still permitting a full range of movement.

How do adjustable harnesses provide comfort and flexibility for workers?

Correct specification of a body harness is important to ensure appropriate size selection and the required amount of adjustment for straps and D-rings, and comfort padding in appropriate areas.
